How To Convert PDF To EPUB?

The eBook industry largely uses EPUB as the standard format. This is where many new eBook readers found themselves stuck because they are unable to access some of their books because of a different format. While I feel that PDF is undoubtedly simple and has made reading very easy, EPUB seems to have taken the limelight and it is great for eBook readers too. There are quite a few software programs available which can help you. Some of the most popular tools are Calibre, ePUBator, and Convertfiles.com. We have steps for converting PDFs to EPUB format for these three tools.

PDF To EPUB Converters And The Required Steps To Follow

Cross Platform Tool – Calibre

Calibre is a cross-platform tool which can be used on Windows, MacOS, and Linux devices. It is easy to use and works well with different devices. To begin with, you must download the program and install it to your device.

Once Calibre is installed, start the program and you will be asked to select the default device. While you can give clear details regarding your device, usually just the default manufacturer names will help Calibre look for the conversion options available on your device.

After setting the default device type, simply drag and drop the eBooks that you want to convert. You will notice that the top of the screen has details like input information and output information. Make sure PDF is selected for input and EPUB is selected for output.

An icon on the top toolbar will allow you to edit metadata information as well. If you would like to edit this information then click on the icon and edit the information.

Once you are ready to convert the book to EPUB format, click on Convert eBook on the top toolbar and click on OK to complete the conversion.

Now that the conversion is completed, you can move your newly converted eBook to your device and enjoy reading it. If you want to find out where the new eBook is located, then right click on the newly converted eBook and click on Open Containing Folder. This will take you to the folder where your eBook is located. iPad users who would like to move the book to their device should drag and drop the eBook to iTunes. Then you must plug in your device and make sure you have iBooks on it. Drag and drop the book from iTunes to your iPad and when you launch iBooks the next time you will notice that your newly converted eBook is waiting for you to read it.
